7 Ways to Cut Water Waste

When it comes to going green, little changes make all the difference. A very good thing - considering how much you have to do on a daily basis.

Fixing that leak, shortening your shower, and upgrading your appliances are all simple, but effective ways to conserve water. Read on for more simple ways to save water and to find out just how much of a difference you can make.

Go Low-Flow
By switching your older model shower heads to low flow, you can save up to 3 gallons of water each minute. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that by making the switch you could lower your consumption (and water bill) by 25-60%.

Turn Off the Tap
Turning the water off while you brush your teeth can save eight gallons of water each day per person. For a family of four, that's 11,680 gallons of water saved each year.

Shorten That Shower
Depending on flow, your daily shower uses anywhere from 2-5 gallons of water a minute. By cutting your typical 10-minute hygiene routine in half, you can save 10-25 gallons of water each day.
